about
Envisioning a futuristic science fiction soundworld, veteran Spotted Peccary artists Ben Cox and Thomas Park (aka Mystified) joined forces with new artist Plexus creating a collaboration aptly named Hyperion V, and crafting their first project ACCRETION DISC. Borrowing on vaguely familiar musical tonalities and rhythms, the visionary artists set about creating a rhythmic and melodic immersion of another timeframe yet to be discovered. Employing a variety of electronic sound sources while utilizing a process of generative composition they unlock our imagination through sonic manipulation and propel us into this undiscovered territory.
Thematically, ACCRETION DISC examines the human need to explore the unknown, our immortal obsession with the many mysteries waiting in the night sky. Hyperion V recalling the cosmic yearning of bygone eras touched on by Vangelis, Brian Eno, Holger Czukay and the darkly human introspection of Massive Attack, launch their investigation through twelve conjoined tracks. The opening track “Astasis” struts along a modular groove punctuated by robotic vocal samples, drum and bass like a rocket propelling the listener through the infinite. Contrarily, “Surface Gravity” evokes the eerie serenity of sunlight on an alien tundra as chimes glisten and shimmer over a stuttering trip hop beat. The stunningly propulsive “Baryogenesis” opens with an odd-time bassline before terse, marching drums and interstellar synth chords make a contrapuntal rhythm. Submerged vocal samples warble in the distant depths, muted across immeasurable vastness. The mesmerizing “Graviton” screeches and bends like an electric guitar’s snarl before exploding into an ecstatic trance beat. It is this explorative approach throughout the work that inflames our imagination and curiosity.
ACCRETION DISC is a gripping interstellar journey that moves fluidly between atmospheric soundscapes and propulsive grooves, traversing the space-time continuum, alluding to the staggering emptiness of space and the adventurous thrill of daring to cross it.
